Jasmine Tea

What is Jasmine Tea?

Jasmine tea is tea with added jasmine flowers. [1]

Normally, jasmine tea is based on green tea or white tea. The resulting flavor of jasmine tea is subtly sweet. [1]


History

It originates from the time of the Song Dynasty (960–1279). [1]

Tea scented with jasmine flowers has been a specialty in China since the Song Dynasty ruled over 800 years ago. However, jasmine is not indigenous to the region. The jasmine plant is believed to have been brought to China from Persia sometime during the Period of Disunity (220-589). [1]
